PS: I'm less and less happy with the `whitespace' syntax-class because
it's really not clear what it's supposed to stand for. The absence of
\n from that class in language where \n is a comment-ender is
a common problem, and the presence of things like ' in that class
(in Scheme mode until recently) or ~ (in TeX mode) bothers me.
I think we need to clarify what we mean by `whitespace'.
We could add a flag for "single-char comment end". Then \n can always
be whitespace. That would eliminate most of the strangeness.
What Scheme mode did was just a mistake.
~ in TeX bothers me somewhat, but I think the idea is that TeX mode
should treat it like whitespace.
